A med student says he’s made thousands of dollars selling photos and videos of a young conservative woman he created using generative tools. He’s not alone.
That law was added when guns were so imprecise it was difficult to hit the broadside of a barn from inside the barn.
That’s blatantly false. Timothy Murphy killed a British officer during the Revolutionary War at a distance of 300-400 yards. They absolutely had the capability of precise marksmanship at the time the constitution was written. Repeating rifles were not a foreign concept either. They weren’t common yet, but there was no reason for them to believe the technology wouldn’t be improved.
It’s not blatantly false, it took the most famous master marksman of the revolutionary war three shots to hit a stationary target. Those weapons were imprecise, objectively speaking.
The founding fathers weren’t visionaries, they were just people who lived in a particular time period and wrote laws appropriate to that time period. I don’t think they would necessarily be all that upset if someone was to travel back in time and tell them that people 200 years later wanted to change the rules because they no longer worked. So whatever they motivations may have been at the time are irrelevant.
I mean they literally said they expected the constitution to be rewritten ever couple decades. They absolutely were visionaries and envisioned exactly the type of changes modern-day conservatives abhor.
They weren’t idiots either. They weren’t stupid enough to think technology was static and would never improve, firearms technology was literally improving during their lifetime. They wrote the constitution the way they did deliberately. The constitution was meant to be a living document, true, but the only reason to change that amendment is, simply put, fascism.
The reason is people dying because in america if someone gets upset they have a gun within arms reach. How many shooting deaths every year do you need to see before you would consider it a problem? Because apparently 14,000 gun deaths in a year is not even close to a problem for you.

How is that not blatantly false? Piss off troll.
It’s hyperbole “hitting the broadside of a barn” is a common expression in the US
